I received this radio from Aliexpress after about a month (thanks customs..) for $13.00, and may I say.
This little radio is something else!!! Although I've only had it a few hours and it is only 16 CH(UHF ONLY). The clarity on TX and RX is UNBELIEVEABLE. The English speech synthesis is more English than it is Chienglish, it has a nice weight to it. It's about the size of Yaesu's tiny little HT. Honestly, it stands as tall as the Galaxy S4, with half the width. The scan is great on this and although it peaks at 2W and has a built in antenna, it gets out alright.
It came with a little charging dock, that uses Mini-B connector for charging. You can plug the Mini-B connector directly to the radio but only for charging. It also came with a little belt clip, almost like an Otterbox phone clip case.
The radio programs with the same type cable as the Puxing 777 and other radios of that type connector.
The programming software is straight-forward however you can't lock out TX on channels. My workaround was to put those channels on low power and put the TX frequency on a GMRS channel (I have the license for it) just in case you accidently key.
This is an interesting radio worth a $10 and some change.
If anybody has any questions about it I will certainly try and answer these as I know I left out some key points.
